The angle of attack exceeds a critical value .

22- What are the principle effects that result from lowering the flaps while in
flight?

Lift increases, drag increases, and stall speed decreases.

23- What is the function of a wing mounted vortex generator?

Prevent boundary layer separation

24- How does blade flapping help to compensate for dis-symmetry of lift in
helicopter main rotor systems?

Flapping increases the angle of attack

25- How does the airflow through the main rotor of a helicopter change during
the transition from normal flight to auto-rotation?

During normal flight air moves downward, in auto-rotation air moves upward

26- What is friction?

Opposition to relative motion between two objects in contact with each other
